Description
Ajaduo 10mg/5mg Tablet is a medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. In this condition, the body either does not make enough insulin or cannot use it properly, leading to high blood sugar levels. If left uncontrolled, high blood sugar can cause serious problems like heart disease, kidney damage, nerve issues, or poor blood flow to the hands and legs.
Ajaduo 10mg/5mg Tablet contains two active ingredients, empagliflozin and linagliptin. These two medicines work together to help control blood sugar. Empagliflozin helps remove excess sugar from the body through urine, while linagliptin helps the pancreas release more insulin and reduce liver sugar production.
By combining these actions, Ajaduo 10mg/5mg Tablet helps keep your blood sugar within a healthy range. It is important to take this medicine exactly as advised by your doctor and not to stop it suddenly without medical advice. Regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels helps ensure the medicine is working effectively.
Along with taking Ajaduo 10mg/5mg Tablet, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very important. Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and avoid skipping meals. These habits can greatly improve your diabetes control and reduce the need for higher doses of medicine.
Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on your health condition and blood sugar response. Inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, or if you are taking other medicines for diabetes. Always drink enough water, as this medicine can increase urination, and report any signs of dizziness, dehydration, or urinary discomfort to your doctor.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Empagliflozin blocks a certain protein in the kidneys called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) and prevents the reabsorption of glucose (sugar) by the kidneys. This causes the removal of blood sugar through the urine....
- Linagliptin acts by blocking another protein called dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP-4). This causes the pancreas to produce more insulin when blood sugar levels are high, like after a meal. As a result, Ajaduo lowers your blood sugar levels and keeps them adequately controlled....
